Tonight the Dallas Cowboys host the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 8:15 p.m. EST.
The Cowboys come into this game with a 3-4-1 record, good for second place in the NFC East. They have an undefeated 2-0-1 record at home this season. The Cowboys are a team of extremes. They have an outstanding offense, ranking first in the NFL in passing yards and second in first downs, yards gained and points scored. The defense, on the other hand, is bad. The Cowboys rank 30th in passing yards allowed, rushing yards allowed and first downs allowed, and 31st in yards allowed and points allowed. The Cowboys defense has allowed 30+ points in a remarkable five out of eight games this season. In short, what the Cowboys offense giveth, the defense taketh away. Hence the mediocre record.
The Cardinals come into this game with a 2-5 record, good for last place in the NFC West. The Cardinals got off to a good start this season, winning their first two games. Since then it’s been all downhill, as the Cardinals had lost five straight games heading into their bye week last week. The Cardinals are mediocre in virtually every aspect of the game. They rank between 12th and 24th in the NFL in every major statistical category. That has kept them in every game. Every game the Cardinals have played this season has been decided by a single score. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, they have found themselves on the wrong side of the scoreboard far too many times. We’ll see if the bye week has allowed them time to figure some things out and snap their five game losing streak tonight against the Cowboys.
It’s the Cowboys and the Cardinals tonight on Monday Night Football. Enjoy the game everyone.
